That's an interesting way of looking at it. Docker also came with a way to do things. Jails you were still responsible for having it set up correctly (though you could tar them which was nice).

Separate kernel and OS is ideal for containers, IMO. What was thought to be a plus with BSD I believe turned out to be a weakness.
